Episode Details

In a gripping twist of a decades-old cold case, investigators from the “Runaway Joe” project spent two and a half days in Andorra hunting for Joseph Maloney — a U.S. fugitive wanted for poisoning his wife in 1967. Tall, rumored to be 6’3”, and reportedly suffering from dementia, Maloney may have died between 2004 and 2007, possibly in a care facility, while living with his second wife, Maria. Despite interviewing locals, visiting institutions, and even getting voluntary help from funeral homes to check records, no one recognized him — fueling theories he used another alias. Andorran police, while cooperative, couldn’t access records without formal international requests. This search is part of a sprawling manhunt that’s traced Maloney’s path from Rochester, New York, to Ireland, East Germany, and Northern Cyprus — reignited by a judge’s memoir, a 2022 podcast, and a new book. Investigators are holding off on returning to Andorra until new leads emerge — and they’re still asking anyone with info to reach out.
